Bruno Clavelier, Vosne-Romanee Hautes Maizieres, 2012

Bruno Clavelier is a Vosne-Romanee biodynamic pioneer, farming organically since the 1990s and making wines with native yeasts, partial whole-cluster, and no fining or filtration. Les Hautes Maizieres is a village Vosne-Romanee lieu-dit, but a special one: a tiny parcel of vines over sixty-five years old (massal selection), sitting just below the famed 1er Cru Les Suchots. The 2012, a small and concentrated vintage, gives it real depth for a village wine. At this age it's drinking in a mature, complex window. Decant before serving.
